The Coast

Program overview

Your Kindergarten class will love exploring what makes the coast such a special place and how we can all help to look after it. The children will also start to understand the basic needs of animals and how the different coastal environments provide for them and for us.

Our “Buddies” excursion is a slight variation on the program, involving the older Buddy students. This is a wonderful way to develop strong connections between Kindy students and their Buddies, as they work side-by-side with the fun tasks and activities.

Syllabus inquiry questions

What do we notice about living things?
What makes a place special?
